Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag PROBES <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/probes_tag> takes Marshall McLuhan’s conceptual contrapositions as a starting point to analyse and expose the search for a new sonic language made urgent after the collapse of tonality in the twentieth century. The series looks at the many probes and experiments that were launched in the last century in search of new musical resources, and a new aesthetic; for ways to make music adequate to a world transformed by disorientating technologies. You can find the latest instalment of the series, exploring the impact of Indian instruments in Western Music here. <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/curatorial/probes-20-1-chris-cutler/capsula> *2- <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/yayo-herrero/capsula>** <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/yayo-herrero/capsula>SON[I]A #241.

Laura Mulvey* <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/laura-mulvey/capsula> Link: http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/laura-mulvey/capsula Laura Mulvey contextualises, updates, and elucidates on the far-reaching impact of this key text, which she revised in later essays such as “Death 24 x a Second. Stillness and the moving image”. At the same time, she opens up the debate with the notions of the “queer gaze” and the “universal whiteness” of Hollywood. Mulvey also defends orality as a form of "history from below", citing the example of “compilation films” (films that use archival footage re-written with new narrative) as a space for a new feminist film practice. <http://rwm.macba.cat/en/sonia/zach-blas/capsula>2-* SON[I]A #238.
